So....I finally finished something I've been wanting to do for a long time...I made myself a new laptop bag that is more suited to my style. I used the tute for the messenger bag with zippered divider, put batting in the layers on it to cushion my laptop, and then used white muslin to line the inside of that pocket, as seen here:

It has 2 other sections on either side of the zipper compartment, and an elastized side pocket for the power adaptor, you can sort of see it on the side in this picture, but the front is the zippered pocket under the flap (I think I'm gonna use it for my dice)
